It Is Not In Their D.N.A.
If someone does not have nurturing qualities,
It doesn't matter how attractive they appear.
Or how impressive they look when dressed.
That person will not know how to address warmth.
Or the importance to cuddle with someone loved.
It is not in their D.N.A.
And they will only say those things,
They believe others wish to hear.

It Really Doesn't Matter
You say your ugly, i say it doesn't matter.
You say you have a dark past,
i say it doesn't matter.
You say theirs overwhelming responsibility,
i say it doesn't matter.
I don't believe in walking away when things get hard.
In fact they are my spark to continue my march.
Through thick and thin where to begin.
You say you don't have a way.
I say it doesn't matter.
You say that you cant give back what you would like.
I say it doesn't matter.
You say, you say oh it really doesn't matter,
I live one day at a time.
Choices will be made that will save the day
but hurt me financially.
It doesn't matter Choice will be made
that will set me back in my expectations.
It doesn't matter,
It really doesn't matter.
Its well worth it.
To see the beauty that
you have placed before me.
Oh how its worth it.
To settle down and not be looking to be found.

Due For Much Success
I had not decided to become impressive.
Anyone who knows me...
Knows that's the last thing,
I wish to address.
I don't think anyone begins with that in mind.
One who lives to do their best...
Isn't obsessed by impressions left.
Or have concerns with what they should do next.
When I hear that I've impressed...
By doing something I enjoy.
I wonder to myself,
What is it I've employed?
I know I've been considered 'different'
In an environment where folks are conformed.
I have never felt restricted by conditions like that!
Perhaps that is why I've been considered out of the 'norm'.
I've always been encouraged to express myself.
And not to follow on a path...
Laid down by someone else.
I was taught to listen to comprehend.
And to leave my mind open,
For a thinking process to begin!
I had not decided to become impressive.
Anyone who knows me...
Knows that's the last thing,
I wish to address.
However...
I am willing to bet it is holding myself accountable.
And acknowledging my mistakes...
That so many are afraid to say they make!
And if that impresses...
I am due for much success!

We Are Lost
album: one-armed bandit$
track: 09
I wanna climb up in the sky with you
To seize the stars and put them on your head
I wanna take you down
where the sun begins
a journey on the clouds once again
I wonder if I will ever see your face again
and the rest of my opinion is of no importance
guess I have made a choice
for us
we are lost
in this world
we are lost
in this time
we are lost
we decide
we are lost
we are lost, lost in our own world
It doesn't even matter if you like it or not
we are lost, lost in our own world
It doesn't even matter if you're happy or not
We are lost, lost in are own world
It doesn't even matter if you like it or not
We are lost, lost in our own world
It doesn't even matter if you're happy or not

What Really Hurts
i never hurt you
i always tried
i loved you
but you hurt me
you never tried
don’t you dare say you loved me
you told me to leave
and so I left
but I gave you one more try
and as always
i’m biting my lip trying not to cry
and it doesn’t matter to you
but I was your daughter
and I still cared about you
but now I feel nothing towards you
and what really hurts
is that I didn’t choose to have you
you chose to have me
well you messed up
so now in your life
i never happened
now in your head
i’m a person that doesn’t exist
i’m just a sad daughter
who’s hurt
and motherless

Envy
though I have penned down
a lot of qualities of you
inspite you have given me a single clue
I am the only person on the earth
who has loved you since his birth
loving you, for me, was such a fun
that I forget that you have forgotten
that only person on the earth
who has loved you since his birth

Doesn't Remind Me
I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
Chorus
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
Chorus
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back
Chorus
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything

It Doesn't Matter
You look at me with eye's so cold
and a heart made of stone
drowning me in tears
of a love that never was to be
knowing it doesn't matter anymore
because you never loved me anyway
after all of these years
All the nights I spent alone
waiting there for you just to come home
listening for the words you would never say
while I watch everything around us decay
still you just turned and walked away
and left me here with nothing to hold
but it doesn't matter like before
because you never loved me that way
the way I wanted to see
Letting it all go you chose to hide
behind your mask of lies
that you only told
as you closed the door
without any good-bye's
trying to take away my pride
but it doesn't matter no more
I seen through your disquise
and now I realize
I don't love you enough to stay

Confidence is at the root of so many attractive qualities, a sense of humor, a sense of style, a willingness to be who you are no matter what anyone else might think or say and it's true, I do have a certain fondness for women that have dark hair.

Respect Poem
_________________________________________
Resp ect your elders all if they deserve;
Respect your servants who will serve;
Respect your father for tilling the soil;
Respect your mother for her love and toil.
Respect all teachers who gave you the knowledge;
respect your parent who will pay for your collage
respect your friend who saved you from the ledge
respect yourself from not going to the edge.
they are so many things we tend to say
giving respect does not come everyday
don't reject, don't regret just correct
but don't forget to bloody respect.
respect it something i like
doesn't matter if your wrong or right
doesn't matter if you black or white
doesn't matter if your rich or poor
doesn't matter what the hell you own
doesn't matter what way were you born.

Ghetto Dressed
Ghetto dressed...
Is still the same mess,
Ghetto dressed.
It may not be politically correct,
To address this publicly.
Or expect this confessed.
But some who lack a certain finesse...
With social graces limited at best.
May acquire an appearance,
That might impress.
However...
If there is no consciousness,
That understands there is more to success...
Than 'things' one possesses.
Ghetto dressed...
Is still the same mess,
Ghetto dressed.
And 'if' left unaddressed...
It will never progress,
To heights of one's accepted satisfaction.
That's just the way it is,
Without polish, sacrifice and a few tears!

It Doesnt Really Matter
It doesnt really matter that I loved you
How many reasons call
It doesnt really matter at all
It doesnt matter that I failed to
Break down your fathers wall
It doesnt matter at all
Why tell me you dont understand when you do
I thought I had something to say
But it really doesnt matter at all...
I changed my name
To be rid of the things that I want from you
Its strange
But a name is a name and the truth is the truth
Oh, there is always
Always someone to remind me
So I learn to live with shame
Tell myself I feel no pain
But I do
And if I have to tell you
Then it really doesnt matter at all...
And its no good looking back
Because times a thief and I believe that
Im too old for that
Were just saying the things that weve said
Forever
It doesnt really matter that I loved you
How many seasons fall
Its too bad
It really doesnt matter at all

Speed Of Sound
I remember the first time
You said you loved me
I waited all weekend
You never called me
So you find him attractive
So what if he is
You'd like some excitement
You could count his same kiss
So it goes
On and on
My love grows
And yours is gone
A lonely existence
Well it's just a lie
If there is a reason
I'd like to know why
Something I want you to know
I've told you this once before
Don't want you to see him no more
Once again
You've let me down
Broke my heart
And turned me round
There's a light in the darkness
It doesn't seem far
Is something the matter
??? ajar
The plane goes down
Will not land
Pilot's dead
Nowhere to be found

We Assume
We live in a world where we assume,
we assume stuff in our heads
that are of a different tune.
A different tune that the other person thinks,
because this person is living their own dream.
So it doesn't matter what you say or do
if you are not on the same page by answering it through.
So if you want to just assume,
you might as well go play with a child's balloon.
For it has a lot of hot air,
it doesn't matter if you even care.
So ask your questions, but look for reason why
for you are not the one who decides-
How a person should live their life.

What I find very attractive, what I find sexual, are people who are unapologetic for who they are and comfortable with themselves. And I think with those two things sexual energy does come out because you're not hovering or censoring yourself, you're just being who you are. And being who you are is a very attractive quality in a person.

Rose Colored Glasses
Does it really matter,
How impressive a demon is dressed?
A demon is a demon.
No matter how fashionable the deception.
Or from which side of the mouth one speaks,
To bare flawless teeth.
Listen with open ears.
And cover up that tender heart.
A demon will always flip flop excuses to exchange.
And take off those damn rose colored glasses.
They may give you an image,
But do absolutely nothing for your brain.

Delicate Flower
Love is a delicate flower
that needs to be treaded
with warmth and care;
nurturing with a loving heart
knowing t will always be there.
Never let love wither
in case it may die,
but keep it warm
because its beauty
is beyond compare.
Love is a delicate flower
that needs nurturing everyday.

Exportation of Importance
Good evening!
I have come before you,
To address the exportation of importance.
Yes!
And,
Without further adieu.
'Excuse,
But shouldn't that adieu be 'after'
Your address given? '
Only when the 'bidding' of it accurs!
Now...
T'were it not for lips,
Would my own before you quiver?
Or the sacrifice of busy bees...
To enslave themselves at the command,
Of a demanding Queen...
Would their honey gathered taste as sweet?
I think not!
Would the picking between toes,
In search for that precious toe jam...
Satisfy the hunt of one with such a habit!
Just think of the agony of 'defeat'!
If it had not been for the exportation of importance,
Our lives...
Your and mine!
And others of this divine experience...
Insignificant or not,
Would have discovered a less cursing done.
With a determination...
To be glamourized in a film!
Yes.
Such a Star Wars!
And be inhabitants of that galaxy,
Far, far away!
'And...
The exportation of importance has done this? '
How am I suppose to know?
If I knew that,
All my comments would reveal a relevance.
Wouldn't they?
'Adieu! '
Even the brightest of spots,
Are cursed to damn themselves out!
